RVM is also useful if you don't have the necessary privileges to update your system's Ruby.
$ # RVM installation as specified at https://rvm.io/rvm/install $ gpg --keyserver hkp://keys.gnupg.net --recv-keys 409B6B1796C275462A1703113804BB82D39DC0E3 $ \curl -sSL https://get.rvm.io | bash -s stable --ruby=ruby-2 $ $ # follow the instructions to ensure that your're using the latest stable version of Ruby $ # and that the rvm command is installed
N.B Make sure your run source $HOME/.rvm/scripts/rvm as instructed to complete the set-up of RVM.
